[German] radio feature on Norbert Aping book
For the benefit of German [speaking] mafiosi lurking here, here's a nice radio feature on Norbert Aping's new book, an encyclopedia of German slapstick-based TV shows, including sound bites from both Norbert and the shows in a brief but very engaging love letter to the genre: https://www1.wdr.de/med...

Deutsche Kinemathek: Jerry Lewis Archive Tour (DAY THE CLOWN CRIED)
Artistic director Dr. Rainer Rother offers a tour through the Kinemathek's CLOWN collection, in German, but may still be of interest for the close look at selected artefacts; Instagram account required I assume.

Pat & Patachon ( & other Danish silents) HD streams
The great website and project, stumfilm.dk, has been up for a while, but not mentioned on this board yet, I think. The digitizations by the DFI streaming in full HD include some short silent comedies (such as with Oscar Stribolt and Frederik Buch), https://www.stumfilm.dk/en/stumfilm/themes/funny-gu...

COUNTESS FROM HONG KONG German Blu
A new German Blu-ray of COUNTESS FROM HONG KONG is just out (DIE GRÄFIN VON HONG KONG, Koch Media), and much like the recent French Blu ray, it was touted as 'uncut for the first time,' only to turn out (upon purchase) the usual 108' US edit. This is especially ironic since for a long time, when sho...

More JL DAY THE CLOWN CRIED
Some more snippets of CLOWN behind-the-scenes footage (and JL interview, sadly marred by German voice-over), maybe some five minutes all in all, have resurfaced on DVD here: https://www.pidax-film.de/Gesamtkatalog/V-I-P-Schaukel-Vol-1::1567.html The bargain price suggests this might soon go OOP.

Re: Thief Catcher, Slapsticon, and Gierucki on German TV
Swiss TV, actually - and if you search that site, quite unsurprisingly you find a good amount of material on Chaplin's Swiss years, too!
